Here we are in Vero Beach .... the sun shines on us and we are happy to be away. We've been wondering why so many people are moving here from up north and what is the draw ..... We ran into a person at the Art Show that told us ... VERO IS THE FREEZE LINE. Apparently, Vero is the line where no freezing temperatures can haunt these northerners that are escaping that kind of weather. They don't want the intense heat of South Florida and it is possible to get a few seasonal changes in the Vero area. So that is the draw and the FREEZE LINE! Food for thought.
Here's Franky Baby being a bit nostalgia at one of the original train stations of Florida East Coast Railway -- many of Frank's family worked for the Railroad.
Vero also has great and spacious parks - lots of them that cater to the community art festivals and events. We enjoyed this one immensely.
Thanks to Facebook and my followers -- one of my friends said if we were that close to this Ashram, that we should definitely check it out. So, in 5 minutes we were at the Kashi Ashram, that I had never heard of before .... after touring the grounds and visiting all the lifelike monuments and statues ... I know I will return. Enjoy the slide show.
Lo and Behold and amazing Labyrinth also takes residence in this vast acreage. Cement structures denoting each of the goddess marks the spot and were painted on to give life to the sculpture by artist Ginny Street.
Vero does a lot for its citizens and has a boardwalk that skirts the shoreline and beach area, so onlookers and walkers can enjoy the beach without disrupting the sun-lovers and children. A very nice city and I see why so many people move there.
Found a great little spiritual holistic store in Vero and purchased healing tibetan bowls. Sound is magical.
Caught with my mouth full here at the Art Festival by the beach.
Caught with my mouth full of a great tasting ball park hot dog. The park is right on the ocean. No homeless, no bums, no drunks. Just nice family fun.
We had a great time unexpectedly -- and will be back for sure. May consider our move there.
Next trip -- Will McLean Festival in Brooksville, FL -- stay tuned.
